Riders In the Sky

An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw A-plowin' through the ragged sky And up the cloudy draw Aye-yay-yipee-yi-o Ghost herd in the sky Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders comin' hard (Aye-yay-aye-o) And he heard their mournful cry Aye-yay-yipee-yi-o Ghost riders in the sky As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name "If you want to save your soul from Hell a-ridin' on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd (Aye-yay-aye-o) Across these endless skies" Aye-yay-yipee-yi-o Ghost riders in the sky Ghost riders in the sky Yipee-yi-o
